On a rare escape from the children, we were looking forward to a meal and a quiet evening before settling down to a comfortable sleep (as usual). There was a wedding reception in the hotel and our room was right next to the barn where the reception was. We called down to check and were told it wouldn’t go on later than 10:30. The music was loud and thumping until 11:30 when it was turned down, then quieter but still audible until 1:30am. Not what I expect from a usually perfect stay.

It’s a beautiful house, well kept and attended by the staff. We stayed here on our wedding night so it holds happy memories for us. We have been back a number of times in the following 18 years.

Lovely hotel in a great setting, the room was also very comfortable with a really well equipped bathroom (bath and walk in multi jet shower). Staff were really friendly and helpful which made my stay more memorable.

Service not quite as good as Pennyhill Park. Didn't feel 5 star

The location and grounds were stunning

The room was lovely but a little tired for the price. Would have been nice to update decor to more of a country boutique style.

Beautiful setting and entrance

There could have been a mini fridge in a room that was nearly £400 per night?

Amazing staff and lovely environment all round

The breakfast menu could have been a little more traditional for vegetarians who sometimes just like a decent sausage and egg like anyone else! TV not working wasn’t great nor was the WiFi which did disrupt our evening and was disappointing.

The spa bath in the room was a real unexpected gift, the food was delicious, the grounds phenomenal in terms of beauty being upheld alongside its history, care, and pragmatic use with the kitchen garden especially. Staff were friendly and professional, warm and nice to be around and the thoughtfulness in every element of the house and garden was enchanting.

Nothiing, but shame about the weather, it would have been so lovely to sit outside in the garden.

It is a lovely country manor house, and the room was very well equipped with a great shower, bath, plus the bed was very comfy! The views and gardens are beautiful, and the staff all very helpful.

Beautiful property in a stunning setting. We went for our anniversary. Staff were exceptionally good. Really attentive and professional and helpful. We had a small issue at breakfast and they were very apologetic and kind. Facilities were amazing and room super comfortable and romantic. We had an afternoon tea which was delicious and they took great care of our dietary requirements. Lovely grounds for walks and cosy drawing room to spend an evening reading or chatting with loved ones. Had the best time and wholeheartedly recommend!!

Dinner - as described above

Room very comfortable and well appinted, breakfast excellent, service second to none. Dinner in "The Avenue" fussy, over-presented and hugely expensive. Quality of food was good but would have been far more appreciated with less "design" and more food.

The Oak room needs DYI, and good cleaning, there were cobwebs in the ceiling in the Oak and the Pine room too, the housekeeping staff should look up more, this establishment claims to be 5*, so cleanliness is key and basic really. Otherwise, all good.

We were originally given the Oak room but for £400 a night we unsurprisingly had high expectations, which this room didn’t meet, the hotel needs to spend money replacing the bath tub there which in places was rusty, I didn’t fancy giving my toddler a bath there, plom. The staff at the reception acted quickly though and changed us to the Pine room, which was everything we had hoped for. We loved our stay after that. Thank you.

Nothing. It was honestly a wonderful weekend escape.

The staff in this hotel are amazing. Alex from The Wellhouse restaurant went above and beyond in his customer service, from especially helping to source a cheese platter even though it wasn't on the menu to brilliantly handling the whole room of customers when the lights went out due to a short power failure. The food was exceptional and the service was outstanding. I really couldn't recommend this experience highly enough.

We were in Laurel room and we kept getting lost on our journey to and from the room. Basically, the signage is bad. Far more signs are required to Reception and to particular rooms. Also, I'm elderly with strength and balance problems. The shower room was well designed except that there are no handrails to hold on to and there is one minute soap container which can only hold one bottle. There should be at least two containers. Form must always be married to function!

The staff here are magnificent, really accommodating and just generally polite. The surroundings are incredible and the house its self is picturesque. Highly recommend the Plough Inn down the road which had lovely food and settings. Then recommend the cocktail bar as well
